Darroze 40 years blend Bas Armagnac 700ml
Alcoholic Strenght : 43%; Content: 700ml
Appellation: AOC Bas Armagnac (Grand Bas Armagnac)
Vintage : 40 years Minimum
Grape Variety : Ugni blanc, Folle Blanche , Colombard, Baco 22 A
Tasting Notes:
At 40 years, the Armagnac's style is definitely apparent. The quality of the oak used is very important, as the right use of a quality barrel will bring complexity and finesse to the Armagnac; elements that can be judged and appreciated after 40 years in contact with the wood.

Darroze 8 years blend Bas Armagnac 700ml
Alcoholic Strength : 43%; Content: 700ml
Appellation: AOC Bas Armagnac (Grand Bas Armagnac)
Vintage : 8 years minimum
Grape Variety : Ugni blanc, Folle Blanche , Colombard, Baco 22 A
Tasting Notes:
This blend with very little wood influence, displays a predominance of fruity aromas, along with a variety of other flavours, including prunes, candied orange zest and quince to name but a few. A straight armagnac that is highly strung but nevertheless, smooth and enveloping. You can drink this armagnac as an aperitif, with or without ice.

Tasting Notes:
20 years old, the prime of life. This Armagnac is full of life and displays a lovely character. Already the alcohol is tamed, the tannins more refined and the aromas take shape. It is certainly the most wonderful age for the Armagnac enthusiast who appreciates the force and the maturity.
